I’m not super techie but I love gadgets that make my life easy. The problem I have is, they don’t come with a tech geek you can bring home. I am a hands on person. Show me once and I’ll remember it forever. If you expect me to read “How” then I’m lost.

Microsoft now has 35 full-service retail stores and 31 Microsoft Specialty Stores. You can schedule one on one time to ask questions about your new prizes or you can join the many classes already scheduled. Find a store near you here and if there’s not a store near you, check back often because new U.S. stores are opening all the time.

  • Since the beginning of Microsoft stores, the brand has embraced families and communities. Every store reaches out to its own community, whether it is helping Girl Scouts with tech badges, planting trees, packing frozen foods or helping out with the local YMCA
